tbh it sounds like a good MOT place, i'd rather go somewhere and get told the truth and know my car is safe then get a slip and 'oh by the way.....' yeah it's a pain in the ass but seriously, if thats all you fail the MOT on then you should be over the moon!!!! No. plate - worth getting it changed, should only need one that meets the import requirements, anything else will kick off an ANPR meaning being stopped by the police and the un-lucky situation of VOSA wanting to take a look (trust me there are some horror stories with them). sunstrip - who cares, just trim it down to fit of get another that's legal, not sure why you'd want something that hinders your vision field when on the road. may be a bit petty but if they didn't put a limit on the size then people would take the piss! Bulbs - easy, just put the old ones back in for the MOT........again, not worth the hassle of getting pulled over because of funky bulbs and if it's because the wattage is too high then you should of known better
